Thlog 5

Time goes quickly; week five has finished. In the week five, we mainly discussed reading for writing, author’s moves in article and the thesis of WP2.

First, we have found that there are so many moves in each article. Each move in article has different function to whole essay. The main goal of such moves may be attracting more readers, making article easy to understand and impressive to readers. Through other authors’ moves in articles, we can learn from them and use similar moves in our own essay and make our essay more perfect.

In addition, we have read an impressive essay which named “How to Read Like a Writer,” which is helpful for us to read. It also can notice us that which way is best to read. The most impressive content in this article is that “You are reading to learn about writing.” Sure, reading is the best way to improve writing. In short, this article is so helpful to me that remainder what I read for.

Also, we have begun to discuss the thesis of WP2. We need to find two academic and one non-academic source for same topic, and compare authors’ move in these articles, find similarity and difference from these articles. Initially, I am confused about the topic of WP2, and I have no idea about what should I write. But, the examples in class gave me a large amount of information and inspiration. After discussing in class, I suddenly had my own topic for WP2. I have to thank to these examples in class.

Finally, I hope I can successfully finish my WP2 in next week and have a satisfy grade.

Oh, Happy Chinese new year to everyone!!!
